The Arkansas Razorbacks have found a replacement for fired head coach Bobby Petrino, albeit a temporary one.

According to the latest reports, Arkansas has hired former Hogs assistant coach John L. Smith to be the interim head coach this season. He was supposed to be the head coach at Weber State this season, but he has apparently jumped at the opportunity to coach a loaded Razorbacks team.

The news of Smith's hiring came rather suddenly, and the reaction to his hiring is coming fast and furious. And you know what that means...

Yup, it's time for a stroll around Twitter to see what people are making of Smith's hiring.

The words "oh boy" pretty much sum it up. Smith's last tenure as a head coach didn't go so well, as he led the Michigan State Spartans to a 22-26 record from 2003-06. Moreover, he brought the spotlight on himself on more than one occasion with his behavior.

What that in mind, Smith isn't exactly the safest hire Arkansas could have made.

Lou Bezjak, a prep sports writer for the Morning News, thinks disaster is going to ensue:

John L. Smith to #arkansas as interim got train wreck written all over it

This is a fair criticism to make. Smith was hired to replace retired head coach Ron McBride at Weber State, and here he is leaving the program just several months after accepting the job. Not exactly a nice thing to do, especially to your alma mater.

That being said, I'll thank Dan Wolken of The Daily for saying something that needed to be said:

I know John L Smith is going to get killed for leaving Weber St in the lurch. But don't pretend like you care about Weber State football.

Smith had better hope Davenport is right. The Razorbacks have some really good players on their team. If they take a liking to Smith, they might just have the kind of season many people expected them to have before Petrino was fired.

And Davenport may be right. Here's what Hogs running back Knile Davis tweeted about Smith's hiring:

The happiest day of my life... hearing that John L.Smith is coming back to the ville to b our head coach...#priceless
